Power BI Output Tool error : No Module 'ayx_python_sdk'

taxguy33

Hello,

I recently have been trying to post some data to some Power BI datasets to create some Power BI dashboards for our company. I'm on a new version of Designer 2021.4.2 and just downloaded the Power BI Output tool last week. I finally got my data in the right format to post to a Power BI dataset and logged into the tool via Internet Browser.

However, when I run the workflow I get the following error each time:

Error: Power BI Output (3): Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 15, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ayx_python_sdk'

I had little to no experience with Python so this reads to me as something wrong has occurred with Python that is missing a compenent that is required for me to post to a Power BI dataset. Can someone please interpret what is missing (I have uninstalled / reinstalled the Power BI tool and still same issue)?

If I need to install some Python package to remedy this, please provide specific instructions on how to do that as I've never used python previously. I am using an admin version of Designer for whatever that is worth.

Thanks!

Hey @taxguy33,

I'm running 2021.3.5 and the tool seems to work. From the looks of it AYX Python SDK | Alteryx Help is only compatible with 2021.2 and 2021.3. However, AYX Python SDK v2 | Alteryx Help seems to be compatible with your version. Perhaps the tool needs to be updated you could try downgrade. You could also try running the `pip install ayx-python-sdk` command which the documentations suggests, however this isn't something I've ever need to do so I'm unsure.
